When all the Taoists of Weiming Sect were in a trance, Wei Yuan had dispersed the illusion of controlling water, and then took a big step towards the direction of the Disciple Bureau, pretending that he heard the sound and came out of the library and ran straight to the Disciple Bureau, missing everyone.
The magic sword of Zhang Daoling was hidden in the lower layer of the sword box.
The red talisman on the back of his hand exuded a burning breath.
Wei Yuan could feel that the sword had some connection with the talisman on the back of his hand.
And now this connection has been stimulated.
As long as he stays away from a certain range, the sword will chase him directly.
It seems that there is no way to return this magic sword.
Wei Yuan even wondered if Zhang Daoling had left a sword collection talisman on this sword. After all, it is normal to kill demons and perform rituals. After locking the demons, it is natural to order the long sword to fly thousands of miles to take the head. But after killing the demons, how can this magic sword come back? Naturally, there needs to be another calibration point.
Otherwise, after opening the altar and performing the ritual, the flying sword slayed the demon.
It is not necessary for Zhang Tianshi to run over and take back the sword, right?
This style of painting seems a bit wrong.
The magic sword absorbs the Yin fire of the earth and lungs. Even if it is put into the sword box, there is still a burning sensation.
Wei Yuan arrived before everyone from Weiming Sect returned to the Disciple Bureau.
He greeted the Taoist priests on duty at the Disciple Bureau and helped to comfort the frightened young Taoist priests.
Not long after, Xuanyi and others came back and saw Wei Yuan from a distance. They just thought that he went directly to the Disciple Bureau after hearing the noise, but failed to arrive at the scene in time, and subconsciously separated him from the Taoist priest who performed the profound altar.
Especially since one of them had short hair and a sweater, and the other had long hair and a Taoist robe.
There is a very obvious difference.
How could it be the same person?
Zhao Yi and Xuan Yi laughed at themselves, thinking that they were suspicious because of the 3,000-year-old soul-nourishing wood.
Wei Yuan went forward to ask about the situation. Xuan Yi and Zhao Yi calmed down and briefly explained that a nearly 1,000-year-old snake spirit was suppressed at the mountain gate. The snake spirit escaped and was suppressed by a Taoist senior. Wei Yuan was surprised and said with emotion: "So that's it."
"It's a pity that I wasn't there and didn't see the snake spirit."
Xuan Yi comforted:
"Master Wei, don't be sorry. The transformed snake didn't show its true form. It was just a shadow."
Lin Ling'er and Zhang Xiaoyu next to him stared at Wei Yuan with wide eyes. Seeing that he didn't change his expression, his expression was gentle and regretful, as if it was really a pity that he didn't see the transformed snake. The two little Taoists were at a loss and subconsciously wondered if they had seen it wrong.
Is it really not the master?
Then I saw that Wei Yuan's right hand fingers were strong and saw the black fingerless gloves on his hand.
Only then did they look at each other, and they saw the excitement in each other's eyes, as if they had discovered some unknown big secret. Now looking at the museum owner who looked gentle and sincere, as if he was really sorry, Lin Ling'er subconsciously thought of the Taoist senior who hid his identity and played with the world in the story.
This is the style of a master.
The little Taoist was a little envious.
The great senior who carried a secret, hid his identity and told lies without changing his face.
So amazing!
She looked at Zhang Xiaoyu next to her, and couldn't help but whispered: "Is this an adult?"
"Will we become like this one day?"
Zhang Xiaoyu thought about it and said: "Maybe."
"When we grow up."
Lin Ling'er rubbed her hands: "I really hope to grow up quickly."
The tiger-eyed Taoist strode back, holding a gourd, and found the round-faced little Taoist who had lost a shadow. He pulled the shadow out of the gourd, roughly molded it into a human shape, lit the lamp, and let the shadow return behind the little Taoist.
The young Taoist priest then let out a long sigh, but when he looked up and saw his uncle's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, he turned pale with fear. He was even more frightened than when he lost his shadow. The tiger-eyed Taoist priest stared at the trembling young Taoist priest, and finally sighed: "Forget it, it won't happen again."
The young Taoist priest looked up in surprise.
"Go and copy the precepts a hundred times, and the matter will be over."
Huh? !
A hundred times? !
The round-faced young Taoist priest turned pale.
...
After comforting the frightened young Taoist priests and having their master give them a shock that left a deep shadow in their memories, the Taoist priests left the Disciple Bureau and went back to discuss what they had said before. Seeing this, Wei Yuan took the initiative to say goodbye and returned to the library.
The white-haired old Taoist priests looked much more relaxed at Wei Yuan's proactive avoidance of suspicion.
Wei Yuan returned to the room on the first floor of the library, sat on the bed, and exhaled a little.
He was still quite tired after forcing the spell, and there was still a slight pain in his brow, but there was also a benefit. He knew what his current limit was, and knew that those altars were powerful, but they should not be involved.
At the moment, those that require special practice methods, specific altars, and gods to hold a ceremony to protect the law.
He should not use them now.
Even if he can complete the step of connecting heaven, earth and man, but his Taoism is not enough, he can't complete the next spell.
Wei Yuan rubbed his brows and went to find a few Taoist scriptures. He slowly flipped through them, looking for the altar spells that are more suitable for his current Taoism, and then silently memorized them in his mind, intending to wait until his condition recovers, and then find an opportunity to try it out.
...
The true disciples of Weiming Sect are sitting together at this moment.
Mentioning what happened today, he was both scared and angry. The transformed snake actually relied on the shadow magic that he learned from nowhere to lure those young disciples. He didn't know who told him this method.
If the transformed snake really escaped, he didn't know how much damage it would cause. How would he face the Taoist sect in the world at that time?
While the Taoists were talking, the old Taoist who had been guarding the top floor of the library did not say a word.
The tiger-eyed Taoist sighed, "I don't know which family or sect the senior who suddenly appeared is from, but he can open the altar and perform rituals, so he should be a Zhengyi Taoist. I just don't know if he is a direct descendant of Longhu Mountain."
When he mentioned opening the altar and performing rituals, his voice paused slightly, recalling the act of picking up stones to make an altar. For a moment, he didn't know whether that action should be called opening the altar and performing rituals.
The other Taoists also talked in low voices, not knowing the identity of this person.
Quanzhen and Zhengyi both wore Taoist robes, and each had different details.
Both sides have their own rules, which are different from the folk sects.
The Quanzhen sect has more rules than the Zhengyi sect.
Everyone is well-informed, but they don't know which sect this kind of Taoist robe belongs to. However, they all have some impression and look familiar. Only the old man who has been guarding the library sighed and said, "I have seen that Taoist robe, and you have also seen it."
Everyone was stunned.
The old Taoist said, "Wait a minute."
He got up and went back to the library. He saw Wei Yuan still holding the Taoist scriptures and studying them. He started with some basic altars and rituals. He was a little surprised, but he didn't take the initiative to talk to him. He just went upstairs and bowed again, took out two scrolls, confirmed that they were correct, and then returned to where the Taoists were.
He opened one of the scrolls and hung it on the wall.
Many true Taoists stood up subconsciously with respectful faces.
The scroll shows a middle-aged Taoist priest with cold eyebrows and a Taoist robe. There are disciples holding swords and watching the furnace beside him. This is the portrait of Zhang Daoling, the founder of the Heavenly Master. According to legend, he was about to enter Shu when he was refining elixirs. Although he is about sixty years old, he looks only thirty or forty years old.
The Taoists didn't understand what the old man meant at first.
When they saw Zhang Daoling on the scroll, their faces changed slightly. They found that the Taoist priests who had opened the altar before wore the same style of Taoist robes as Zhang Daoling on the scroll. The old Taoist sighed again and said, "Take a look at this painting again."
He shook it open again. The scroll showed a handsome young man with flying eyebrows and a sword on his waist.
It was a portrait of Zhang Daoling when he was young.
It was only circulated in the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Weiming Sect is a branch of Zhengyi Sect and has also been copied.
The old man pointed to the sword of the young man in the portrait and said nothing.
Everyone looked at it, and then their expressions froze. The tiger-eyed Taoist recalled the ancient sword that leaped up, took a deep breath, and said: "The Taoist robe that Zu Tianshi wore when he entered Shu, and the sword that Zu Tianshi wore when he was young. That Taoist senior..."
An absurd idea appeared in the minds of all the Taoists at the same time.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.
The Taoist sighed, "I never thought that there would be a snake in this era..." and suddenly sounded in everyone's mind, making their hearts beat faster, their thoughts stagnant, and they were all at a loss.
The old Taoist laughed and scolded:
"What are you thinking?"
"According to my thinking, this should be another disciple of the old master Tianshi."
The old man said: "There is a Xuantan on the Zhengyi Longhu Mountain, and there are male and female dragon and tiger swords. Correspondingly, this lineage also has the sword that Tianshi wore when he was young. It can explain it. No wonder he can easily use the previous altar without having to follow the rituals too much."
Xuanyi and Zhao Yi looked slightly surprised and didn't understand what he meant.
The old Taoist put away the two scrolls and explained: "You are all disciples of my Weiming Sect, and you are also considered to be the Zhengyi lineage. Do you know the rules of the Zhengyi sect's ordination?"
Zhao Yi said honestly:
"Our generation is ordination based on the "Tiantan Jade Code" passed down by the 53rd generation Tianshi Zhang Hongren. We first received the "Taishang Sanwu Dugong Sutra", then the "Taishang Zhengyi Mengwei Sutra", and then the "Shangqing Wulei Sutra", and then the "Shangqing Sandong Wulei Sutra". Dadong Sutra, Sanqing Sandong Sutra, but the last Shangqing Sutra can only be received by the Heavenly Master.
The old Taoist sighed: "Yes."
"But you know, the ancient times were much more complicated than today."
"Let alone the 24 levels of Shangqing Sutra, even ordinary Taoists receive the Taishang Sanwu Zhengyi Mengwei Bao Sutra. Tai means the most respected. Tai also means extreme and universal. The only one in the three realms, the extreme of all saints, is the so-called Taoist Lord. For this sutra, the old Taoist You, the Lord, grant the Zhengyi Mengwei talisman to the Three Heavens Master to pass it on to the world.
Xuan Yi asked curiously: "Mengwei talisman?"
The old Taoist shook his head and replied: "It is not the contemporary Tai Shang Zhengyi Mengwei Sutra talisman, but the Tai Shang Sanwu Zhengyi Mengwei Bao talisman. This talisman has a total of 24 grades, corresponding to the upper eight scenes, the middle eight scenes, and the lower eight scenes. It was initiated by the 150th General of the Immortal Spirit, and it can be granted after practicing.
"It is complicated, and some talismans are specially granted to deal with special situations, not regular ones. For example, the "Taishang Sanwu Zhengyi Mengwei Zhan Qiangui Wanshen Lu" is one of the Mengwei Baolu. The Daozang once stated that this Lu is too fierce and cannot be used frequently. "
"When the practice is advanced, there will also be "Taishang Sanwu Exorcism Lu" and "Taishang Jie Liuhai Shenfu Lu". We only know that these Lu texts are ranked in more than ten levels, but there is no fixed number, and they are passed down by the master. "
"At that time, there were many categories of Lu, and they were also highly targeted. Correspondingly, the casting of spells would be much simpler, and for rituals, The requirements of the rules are not particularly strict. "
"At that time, if the three-day master went out to deal with ghosts, he would ask for a "Taishang Sanwu Zhengyi Mengwei Baigui Summons", and if he wanted to represent the Tianshi Mansion to inspect the local gods, he would ask for the "Taishang Sanwu Zhengyi Mengwei Kao Zhao Lu". "
"Each has its own purpose and is very effective. "
"But there have been cases where the enemies faced by the disciples were difficult, and the talismans they were equipped with could not cope with the situation. In addition, because the Tianshi passed down the true teachings from generation to generation and constantly opened up new altars, if they still followed the rules of the past, the types of talismans would only increase and become more and more complicated. "
"There would be more and more situations where people who were obviously capable of enough Taoism would fall into danger because of inappropriate talismans, so the 53rd generation of Tianshi deleted the talismans and simplified them into five simple categories. For example, the Mengwei talisman, as long as the disciple was given the talisman, mastered the altar rituals, and had enough Taoism, he could cast all the magic spells of the 24th grade. "
"Of course, correspondingly, The altar will become more cumbersome, and the ritual Yu Step can not make any mistakes. You may have one step wrong. What you want to cast is to eliminate magic, and what you cast will become a curse for expelling diseases. This can also be considered as the requirements for disciples to give talismans higher. "
"But the difficulty is much better than falling into danger because of the different combinations of the talismans."
When Zhao Yi and Xuan were immersed in his eyes, they reacted: "You mean that the reason why the Taoist priest was able to cast magic spells at will was because he also abides by the ancient talisman system, so the requirements for rituals are not so strict?"
The old Taoist sighed, "Yes, I just don't know if he is wearing the Dragon and Tiger Slaying Evil Skilling Talisman, or the Dutian Jiufeng Filth Skilling Talisman, which specializes in killing demons and eliminating demons. However, if he seals the earth as an altar, he can build stones as an altar, and his Taoism and seniority must be extremely high."
"Okay, since you are the descendant of Zu Tianshi, you don't have to worry anymore. Let's go down."
"The things from Taiping Road should be here tomorrow."
Xuan Yi and Zhao Yi looked shaking.
The Taiping Dao's item arrived at Weiming Sect.
This means that the item will be escorted to the capital to attract the evil.
Everyone stood up and bowed and left. When Zhao Yi left, he couldn't help asking: "Master uncle, you said there are 24 items of Tianshi Shangqing Lu, what are those 24 items?"
The old Taoist raised his eyes, his eyes were very deep and dim under the candlelight, his face was calm and relaxed, and said:
"Tianshi Lu..."
"I only remember that the eleventh item is called Yuanshi Yuhuang Pu Lu."
"Are you still interested in listening?"
Yuanshi Yuhuang?
Zhao Yi's face froze, knowing that he was too ambitious. He coughed, bowed solemnly, and said:
"I won't listen anymore."
"Well, you should go to bed early. I'll take my leave, I'll take my leave."
...
After the Taoists left, the old Taoist sighed, bowed again, put away the two scrolls, and returned to the library. He saw that the young man who came to borrow scriptures was still concentrating on reading, and he was reading a very basic Taoist canon.
Thinking of his own disciple's jumping just now, the old Taoist felt that his younger generation was annoying, but he was full of admiration for the young man.
So he took the initiative to explain: "This spell altar is complicated to perform. You can open the altar and perform it on weekdays, and seal the supernatural power in the yellow talisman. Although the effect will fade with the passage of time, it can still play a good effect when facing the enemy suddenly."
Wei Yuan was surprised, stood up and saluted, saying: "Thank you, senior."
The old Taoist shook his head, saw the sword box behind Wei Yuan, and said: "I heard from Xuanyi that the owner of the Wei Pavilion is good at swordsmanship. I thought he was a disciple of the military school. I didn't expect that he also mastered the rituals of our Taoist Zhengyi. I heard that the owner of the pavilion wanted to borrow it, and I was surprised."
Wei Yuan replied:
"The martial school is good at fighting on the battlefield, but facing many demons, the altar may be more effective."
The old Taoist smiled and said, "So that's how it is."
"We have a lot of Taoist rituals, such as praying for wind and rain, exorcising demons, communicating with ghosts and summoning gods, and the three caves and six subjects. I wonder which one Master Wei is good at?"
Wei Yuan looked at the Taoist scriptures in his hand and said, "We know a little bit."
"But you are better at exorcising demons."
"...So that's how it is."
The old Taoist chatted with Wei Yuan for a few words and left immediately, feeling a little regretful.
If this young man was in the Taoist sect, he might have been ordained.
He walked upstairs and put away all the scrolls.
When he put away the scroll of the young Zhang Daoling, he accidentally touched a scroll of Taoist scriptures. Seeing that the Taoist scripture fell, the old Taoist picked up the "Zhengyi Fawen Shilu Summons Ritual" and patted the dust on it. Seeing this scripture, he remembered that there were not so many talismans in the Tianshi Mansion at the beginning.
In ancient times, there were actually only ten types of talismans.
He looked at the talismans recorded in the scripture, which were divided into ten levels, including Wujia Talisman for summoning spirit officials, Qingjia Talisman for summoning immortal officials, and the name of the first talisman... The old Taoist finger crossed the Taoist scripture, pointed at the line of text, and paused.
Sigh.
Yuanming Red Talisman.
The word "red talisman" is just a talisman written in cinnabar, which means red talisman, which can be described as simple and plain.
But Yuanming is different.
Only then did the heavens ignore it, and only abolished Yuanming and brought punishment.
The old Taoist sighed and whispered, putting away the scripture.
Yuanming, the great destiny of heaven!
The first talisman was the beginning of the young Taoist's courage. He combined the simplest red talisman with the most arrogant Yuanming, which was the first of the ten ancient talismans of Zhengyi Fawen.
Yuanming Red Talisman.
Exorcise evil with righteousness, unify the world with oneness.
What a pity that the ten ancient scrolls no longer exist, let alone the first ancient scroll?
.........
The Huai River system, at the bottom of Guishan Mountain.
Under the seal of the gods that mortals cannot touch, the chains rang slightly.
Wuzhiqi looked through his phone, watching various videos until he set his eyes on Journey to the West. When he saw the Monkey King being pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, he felt extremely unhappy, but also had expectations. He knew that the monkey named Sun Wukong was arrogant and powerful enough.
He knew that he would never surrender to any enemy, and he could overcome any difficulties one by one.
This time would be no different.
Wuzhiqi was about to watch the monkey lift up the Five Elements Mountain and fight on the Lingshan Mountain in the West.
Suddenly the phone screen froze.
"You have been using your phone for six hours in a row."
"According to the anti-addiction mode for teenagers, the phone will be automatically locked."
Wuzhiqi's eyes widened: "..."
"Huh??!"
"Teenagers??!"
